Then Day three, the day it all begins with one very insightful lesson:

"Our escape was narrow but our lesson important -- never stop to stare"

I want to go on and on about how wonderful this collection of days is. It was a brilliant idea and with Julianne's forensic background she was able to bring to the plate not only a scientific take but her own passion for the genre. We as readers are immersed in a daily fight for survival. From the early days. Unlike with The Walking Dead where Rick wakes up much later, this is them riding the wave of infection out of Toronto. I cannot remember how many times I cringed and held my breath and a few times a tear rolling down my face. Just such a well wrought story. Flushed out from the original web series, it brings to light the power of individuals in the need and desire to survive.

There are parts of these days that definitely make this a mature read. The video games have rated most zombie games as Mature (17 and above) I would have to label this read with the same. Not because there is tons gore and violence, there is but it is not in a gratuitous amount. Specifically there are scenes with particularly small individuals that I would not want my 16 year year old, let alone the younger ones, reading just yet.

The subject of zombies and a zombie apocalypse is popular to the point of being a viral constant (heh viral) on the net and in other media formats, such as books and movies. So how does one make it original enough to go grab this one up? Why should you buy it? Well because of the unique approach the author has taken. The strength in her prose as well as the sociological and cultural questions asked and answered each night as her protagonist and others in the group wrap up the day up on a random hijacked and ever diminishing wireless signals. The laptop; her last precious attachment to her past. The questions and the struggles this group of survivors face is monumental and has just enough of an edge to make it a bit fantastic but also very believable. You feel the intensity of the day with them, as they try to bunk down for the night, you are on the edge of your seat with anticipation and train-wreck like obsession. Julianne does not disappoint!

I am leery of I keep going on I will give to many spoilers. But can say honestly that this was an adventure I started taking on her blog and have been thrilled to have it flushed out and in a single novel. One note, this is worth reading for one specific reason... other than what I mention about.. the virus is not discriminatory. That is all I will share but I encourage you think about the statement and let your imagination wander enough to have you click and buy the book, you won't be disappointed.

Recommended for zombie enthusiasts, survivalists and those needing to prepare for the ZA.

Days with the Undead Book One Julianne Snow 9781468007992 Books Reviews

This was a bit different for me. The story is narrated by Julie as an ongoing journal on the internet. She is recording everything that has happened to her and her 4 friends starting three days after the outbreak, as they go on the run, seeking someplace safe from the zombies.

Right away, I liked how the author addressed people’s reactions to the news of the flesh-eating outbreak. Many just went about their daily lives. That is, until the zombies came calling.

Some of the towns they passed through were untouched, while others were ravaged. They had to be careful not only of the zombies. There were pirates out there, goons who would as soon shoot you as help you. They want what you’ve got, plain and simple.

While telling her tale, Julie begins relating each of her friends stories. What happened to them when the outbreak occurred and how they came to be together.

If you are going to survive, you have to get tough, keep your group small, and keep moving. No stopping to help anyone, and no letting someone join the group, no matter what.

It’s easy to think, but harder when they’re faced with some choices.

Zombie fans know that things happen. Not everyone can survive. You expect losses. But don’t you wish it didn’t have to be that way?

By writing this as a journal, Julianne did an excellent job. I was actually picturing the scenes, nodding at some things, and hoping the zombie apocalypse stayed what it is. Fiction.

You can learn a lot about surviving the apocalypse by reading Julie’s journal.

I was going to give this 4 stars but the ending bumped it right up to 5! I read it several times and it floored me.

I received this book for my honest and unbiased review.
I read the description of this book and decided to give it a shot. I'm sure glad I did! I enjoyed the author's take of a zombie apocalypse immensely! The storyline was outstanding and kept me engaged from beginning to end. Also, I may have a fear of chipmunks now (Read the book & you'll see why). The main characters (Julie, Bob, Max, Ben & Barbara) are very well developed/believable and the violence/action sequences were very descriptive but not gratuitous. I can't wait for Book 2 of this series to come out. 2013 can't come soon enough! Give this book a chance. You definitely won't be disappointed that you did.
I really enjoyed this book. I came to it late, not having read the blog. What's wonderful about the work is that Julianne leaves nothing out. There is the fact of the Undead--and everything that goes with it. And, like a zombie, by the time the author finishes devouring the genre, there is no meat left on the bone.
It's a present tense journal, and as a present tense journal it's well done. The minimal character development seems to have been added as an afterthought.

The reason I'm giving this book two stars is because the story line development is so illogical. It's actually made me wince. As an example A third the way through the book when the zombie apocalypse is in its seventh or so day and has spread into the U.S.

"We were stopped late last night by a small town Sheriff's Department Deputy. He looked young and his face showed how tired he was. I thought it likely that he had stopped us just for something to do. A reason to break up his night so that he didn't end up falling asleep in his cruiser."

Moments after this enough zombies pour out of the woods to stop the 4 x 4 they were in from moving. So, the zombies were waitng in the woods for them to get stopped by the deputy and weren't bothering anybody else in that area?

Ms. Snow, try again. I'll likely buy your next effort. Try to make me not wince.

PS An Escalade is not a Ford product.
I first read it on SparkPeople.Com and when I saw that it had been published for - had to get it. Great story, good writing. Can't wait to read what else Julianne Snow has to write.
Been 6 years. I am ready for book two.
